Samenvatting
A page-turning, provocative revenge thriller and a redemptive tale of knotty southern noir, this is crime writing at its very best.
A BLACK FATHER. A WHITE FATHER.
TWO MURDERED SONS. A QUEST FOR VENGEANCE.
*SUNDAY TIMES THRILLER OF THE MONTH*
* FINANCIAL TIMES CRIME BOOKS OF THE YEAR*
* BARACK OBAMA'S SUMMER READING LIST 2022*
'Superb...Cuts right to the heart of the most important questions of our times.' MICHAEL CONNELLY
'The very definition of a white-knuckle ride' IAN RANKIN
Ike Randolph left jail fifteen years ago, with not so much as a speeding ticket since.
But a Black man with cops at the door knows to be afraid.
Ike is devastated to learn his son Isiah has been murdered, along with Isiah's white husband, Derek. Though he never fully accepted his son, Ike is broken by his death.
Derek's father Buddy Lee was as ashamed of Derek being gay as Derek was of his father's criminal past. But Buddy Lee - with seedy contacts deep in the underworld - needs to know who killed his only child.
Desperate to do better by them in death than they did in life, two hardened ex-cons must confront their own prejudices about their sons - and each other - as they rain down vengeance upon those who hurt their boys.
A provocative revenge thriller and an achingly tender story of redemption, this novel is a ferocious portrait of grief; for those loved and lost, and for mistakes than can never truly be undone.

- Geloofwaardig
- Goed en vlot geschreven
Prima geschreven thriller over twee wel heel verschillende vaders, die op zoek gaan naar de mensen die hun zoons ombrachten. Levendig, geloofwaardig, spannend, geestig. Nu ook in het Nederlands vertaald. Top.

Een heel bijzonder verhaal over twee mannen die rechigheid willen voor hun zonen. Speelt in carolina homo haat en discriminatie. De moeite waard.

Tenzij je een liefhebber bent van knetterend en zinloos geweld kun je hier beter niet aan beginnen. Daarbij een wel erg gekunstelde plot waarin talloze woke thema's op elkaar worden gestapeld.
